Josephine’s
Daughter
By
A.B. Michaels
What’s
worse than a mother like Josephine? Turning out to be just like her.
In the late nineteenth century, wealthy
and headstrong Kit Firestone chafes under the strictures of the Golden City’s
high society, especially the interference of her charming but overbearing
mother, Josephine. Kit’s secret rebellion leads to potentially catastrophic
results and keeps her from finding true happiness.
When her brother nearly dies from a
dangerous infection, Kit defies convention and becomes a working nurse. Through
her troubled romance with a young doctor and a series of dramatic events,
including a natural disaster and her mother’s own critical illness, Kit begins
to understand who her mother truly is and what their relationship is all about.
She may not get the chance to appreciate their bond, however, because, through
no fault of her own, a madman has Kit in his crosshairs.
“…the novel’s fast-paced narrative and engaging dialogue will draw
readers in from the start. It’s full of intriguing details about San Francisco
near the turn of the last century,… A solidly entertaining, feminist tale
that’s also well-suited for medical-history buffs.”

A native of northern California, A.B.
Michaels earned masters’ degrees in history and broadcasting, and worked for
many years in public relations and marketing. Now that she’s an empty nester,
she has time to write the kinds of stories she loves to read. Her historical
series, “The Golden City,” follows characters who make their way in turn of the
twentieth century San Francisco. “I love creating flawed characters I can
relate to, who have to make difficult choices, and who long for happiness like
the rest of us. So much was happening in the early 1900’s that help shape my
novels. Once I tear myself away from the underlying research, they are
fascinating stories to write.”
Currently, Ms. Michaels lives in
Boise, Idaho with her husband and two furry creatures who are unclear on the
concept that they are just dogs. In addition to writing, she loves to read and
travel. A dabbler in fabric art, she also plays bocce in a summer league.
